Jets running back Mike Goodson was arrested this morning, along with a friend, in Denville N.J., and charged with marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and weapons offenses stemming from a 45-caliber semi-automatic handgun, that included a hollow-point bullet.

We don’t know at this point if the gun belonged to Goodson, or his friend.

People question why a number of pro athletes carry guns.

Many feel they are targets because of their money, so they want to be able to defend themselves.

Look what happened to Sean Taylor.

I’m not condoning anything, but just pointing out a prevalent mindset.
